Scope/Description:

MycoKeys is a peer-reviewed, open-access, online and print, rapidly published and disseminated journal launched to accelerate research and free information exchange in taxonomy, phylogeny, biogeography, evolution and ecology of fungi (including lichens).
MycoKeys aims to apply the latest trends and methodologies in publishing and preservation of digital materials to meet the highest possible standards of the cybertaxonomy era.
MycoKeys will publish papers on the monophyletic kingdom Fungi containing taxonomic or ecological data on any taxon of any geological age from any part of the world with no limit to manuscript size.
MycoKeys will consider for publishing works on the following topics:
-descriptions of new taxa, if they are accompanied with proper diagnoses and/or keys to distinguish them from close relatives or similar taxa, and if DNA sequence data are deposited in Genbank prior to publication (few possible exceptions from this rule are listed inthe section Taxonomic Treatments). All new taxa need to be registered at Mycobank and the registration numbers indicated in the manuscript. New taxa should ideally be described in connection with a phylogenetic analysis or evidence that the barcode gene (ITS) is unique for the new taxon.
-taxonomic revisions of extant (or ''recent'') and fossil fungal groups
-checklists and catalogues
-phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses, if alignments are deposited in TreeBase (with accession number listed in the text).
-papers in descriptive and/or historical biogeography
-methodology papers, including description of new software, if released a open source license and released as supplementary material to the article.
-data mining and literature surveys
-monographs, conspecti, atlases
-primer notes
-"Points of View" commentaries
-collections of papers, Festschrift volumes, conference proceedings
-data papers (datesets published as supplementary files and through the GBIF or Barcode of Life infrastructures

Impact Factor

The impact factor (IF) or journal impact factor (JIF) of an academic journal is a scientometric factor based on the yearly average number of citations on articles published by a particular journal in the last two years. In other words, the impact factor of 2020 is the average of the number of cited publications divided by the citable publications of a journal. A journal impact factor is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field. Normally, journals with higher impact factors are often deemed to have more influence than those with lower ones. However, the science community has also noted that review articles typically are more citable than research articles.

Other Journal Impact Indicator

Any journal impact factor or scientometric indicator alone will not give you the full picture of a science journal. That’s why every
year, scholars review current metrics to improve upon them and sometimes come up with new ones. There are also other factors
to sider for example, H-Index, Self-Citation Ratio, SJR (SCImago Journal Rank Indicator) and SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per
Paper). Researchers may also consider the practical aspect of a journal such as publication fees, acceptance rate, review speed.

H-Index

The h-index is an author-level metric that attempts to measure both the productivity and citation
impact of the publications of a scientist or scholar. The index is based on the set of the scientist's
most cited papers and the number of citations that they have received in other publications

SCImago Journal Rank (SJR)

SCImago Journal Rank (SJR indicator) is a measure of scientific influence of scholarly
journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the
importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from.
